Arbiter allows assignors to rate their officials between 100 and 900. It also allows the games to be rated and even the specific slots on each game can have a rating range placed on them.
For example, the R on a D1 BV game may have a rating range of 100-200, the U1 could be 100-300, and the U2 could be 100-400.
A set up such as that allows for the auto-assign to place officials with appropriate ratings onto that contest. The assignor may also manually assign the contest, and while doing so the pull down menu will only show officials in the eligible rating range. Of course, the assignor may manually override these restrictions when necessary.

Conversely, restricting ranges for the R and U on a GJV contest to 400-700, would prevent the higher rated officials in the group from getting placed on these games and allow for opportunities for the lower rated officials.

Of course, the system is only as good as the info provided. It is completely dependent upon a quality rating of the association’s officials. If people are not rated properly, then the system will produce poor crews.
